Global markets appeared largely calm on Friday, the last day of trading before the first round of France's closely fought presidential election, with French bond yields hitting a three-month low and the euro treading water.

The first round of polling is not expected to elect a new President, with the expected final runoff between the two top vote-getting candidates set to take place two weeks later, on Sunday May 7.
